After Action Report
In Miami, the Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Heat 132-77. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Heat are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
